Ok, ok, am getting lightly hammered.......

Only reason I make it to Friday now days……husband died exactly 2 months and 1 day ago on May 4th……and I’m still alive. So……Friday was our night, like so many others, and damn it I’m drinking and watching stupid and movies he loved, and I’m talking to him, and missing him terribly. Happy Friday.

The sharp edges soften but I still miss him terribly. I just talked to him earlier today. Through it all I’ve found that gratitude and good memories have helped the most. I feel very grateful to have had the time and memories we had. I hope you can find some peace. Again, give yourself some grace and take care of yourself. Do special things for yourself.

I lost my husband suddenly in 2016 and I don't know how I made it thru the first year. Grief is a bitch, and there's no right way to grieve.

Why not?

I've lived alone for long periods and at some point realized that vocalizing, both talking and singing, really helped. I read somewhere that birds must do a certain amount of singing in order to maintain their heart health; I've wondered if the same could be true for us.

So sorry for what you're going through!!!
